leak in middle of car - coolant?

[max_asdf]

thanks for the help guys.

in general, do our boxster engines stay warm for an extended time even after such a short drive? Needing the side vent to run at max speed constantly.

AC radiator fans have high and low speed setting correct? is there a way to test this.

I've notice my engine is warm hours later after a drive. I think its because of the mid engine setup and its all closed up from the top with only the small side vents and bottom to cool it. Heat rises so it gets trapped in the mid section and keeps the car warmer longer in my opinion.

Yes fans are two speed. You can test them by activating them with a Durametric diagnostic cable. A good independent shop probably also has a diagnostic computer that can test them. Or you can jump fan relay pins. See this thread for directions on how to jump pins. http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/38026-c-fan-speeds.html

Yes. It takes twice as long to cool down the engine bay as oppose to rear or front engine. The heat from the engine gets trapped above it.

Your engine appears to be very clean and well kept. I suggest watching out for any leak and address it immediately in the future.
